 This
is a fun, informative, and non-threatening class
suitable for older youth to seniors, and men and
women, too. It is taught by martial arts
instructor and community leader
Ken
Craig.
Ken says that:
"Most people who attend self-defense seminars do not
religiously practice and perfect the defensive
techniques they are taught to become proficient in
them, thus all techniques taught must be intuitive,
easy to remember, easy to apply, and above all,
effective. Any technique that will not work for a
child may not work for a smaller and lighter adult,
but any technique that DOES work for a child will
undoubtedly work just as well for a six foot, two
hundred pound adult.
Minimum class age for participation is 16 yrs. Note that we will
possibly be organizing age-appropriate classes in the near future for
younger folks, so do let us know if you are interested in helping or
your children attending such a class. Email: GPsafetyprogram@gmail.com
 Class registration and full payment in advance is
required and in our hands by March 3 please. General
